Chapter 741(1/3)
The night is long and the wind is howling.
DiFedra never expected that one day she would be in such an embarrassing situation.
As one of the confidants of the legendary lord "The Skinner" with a notorious reputation among the demon clan, Defedra advanced to the spiritual level at the age of less than forty years, so he can be considered a moderate genius.
He is highly regarded by Lord "Skinner" and is the object of jealousy and hatred by several other middle and low-level demon lords he knows.
Of course, although many people secretly worried about her life, DiFedra did not show the slightest fear.
Not to mention that anyone who wants to touch him must consider whether he can withstand the anger of the "Skinned One". Just the few powerful magic weapons in his hands that were rewarded by adults can make all those below the legendary level
Ordinary strong people are intimidated.
Just kidding, one of them is a high-level magic weapon refined by the "Skinner" himself. With such a treasure to protect you, will you lose?
Therefore, after joining the "Southern Expedition" army, DiFedra has always dreamed of the day when he can conquer the city with his strength, and then be crowned with numerous military exploits!
Although it is unlikely that I will become a big city-level lord before advancing to Legend, it would be good even if I was rewarded with some supplies, treasures, equipment, etc. Then I would use part of these rewards to "please" Mr. Skinner
, maybe you will let yourself enter the "blood pool" to temper your demon body. Then you may not have the chance to advance to the level of legend before you turn a hundred years old.
Every time he thought about this, DiFedra felt like he was born to be a "winner born from demons", as if he had already seen the scene in the near future where he would be sitting on a side of city soldiers and then be worshiped by thousands of demons.[
It's a pity
Just tonight, the cruel facts shattered the last hope and longing in DiFedra's heart!
On that terrifying battlefield where tens of thousands of soldiers lined up, the balance of personal strength was narrowed, or in other words, personal strength below the legendary level was almost ignored.
If the strengths of both sides are similar, the advantages of a few spirit-level heroes may be enough to be the last straw to crush the opponent's overall offensive.
After all, spirit-level heroes can completely rely on the "restraint" effect of the soul space to create a large number of holes in the enemy's defense arrangement in a short period of time, and can even focus on destroying a part of the enemy's elite troops, thus gaining an opportunity for their own side to completely break the situation.
But the prerequisite for doing that must be that "both parties have similar strengths"!!!
But in that battle not long ago, DiFedra almost went crazy!
He didn't even know where the many human troops on the opposite side came from!!!
The griffins flying and swooping all over the sky, the terrifying sound of waving wings, and those damn "cavalry"!
Yes, those cavalry troops who deserve to be thrown into the scorching hell and burned for eternity!
Defedra was not stupid. After a short battle, it was enough for him to judge that those swooping down from all over the mountains and plains were not the high-level "cavalry troops" that the human race relied on to dominate the battlefield, but thousands of those crude cavalry gathered in
Together they have a more terrifying impact than thousands of high-level knights!
Our own position was completely destroyed by the opponent almost at the moment of contact. It was like a pile of tattered wood blocked in front of the huge waves, without even a moment of support.
"ah!!!"
Thinking of this, DiFedra couldn't help but roar to the sky!
Those damn troops have never appeared in previous siege battles. Are they secret troops that the human race has been hiding? [
It doesn’t make sense~
In the previous siege battles, their demonic army even stormed to the top of the brilliant human castle on the top of the mountain. On two occasions, it was even almost attacked to the center of the city by the main force of the flame elves.
If it was really the opponent's reserve force, why didn't it appear in that situation? Is the opponent so sure that it would be able to persist until the end?
or
That turned out to be the newly arrived support force from the human race?
But your Excellency clearly said that the other side is unlikely to receive more reinforcements in a short period of time.
Is it because your judgment is wrong? Or does the opponent really have an unknown and powerful reserve force?
Of course, in DiFedra's consciousness, he may not yet understand what the word "player" actually means.
In fact, for many NPC lords today, even though they have gradually begun to pay attention to the power of the player group, they still find it difficult to face it with a fair and accurate attitude.
It has been almost a year and a half since the game was launched. With the exposure of "secrets" such as army dungeons, racial secret realms, soul crystals, pet boxes, etc., the strength of the player group has been improving rapidly, especially in the past six months.
It can be said that there have been earth-shaking changes compared to half a year ago.
Half a year ago, it could be said that a spiritual-level being on the world map would have been able to dominate the world and look down upon thousands of players.
But for now
Not to mention Liu Yifei's level of top-notch evildoer, just a passable ordinary player on the 180th. As long as he is prepared and can unite and cooperate internally, not to mention that he can completely eliminate a spirit-level hero, but he can fight with the opponent.
It's a draw so that defeating the opponent is no longer a big problem.
Because one player today can almost equal the combat power of two or three players at the same level under normal circumstances in the past!
Not to mention anything else, the pet box alone can greatly improve the player's strength.
Because that not only means a high-level combat pet, but also a qualitative leap in the way players fight!
For example, in the past, spirit-level heroes could bully players into not being able to fly, thus conducting air-to-ground suppression operations, but that’s not possible now! Because flying battle pets are not difficult to obtain unless they are very rare and sought-after, if the players don’t mind
The battle pets are a little ugly and weak. You can definitely get all kinds of flying giant birds and monsters for a hundred or two hundred Union coins!
Another example is mages, archers and other combat units with strong offense and weak defense. It is not troublesome to equip yourself with a powerful human shield pet. At least it is much cheaper than a flying pet~
And if there are mages, hunters, and summoners who can summon and train pets, it will be even more amazing. There are more choices and more powerful combinations!
Today's players, almost everyone is two or three times stronger than before. Moreover, the combat method has also changed from the previous plane attack and reception to a more flexible combination of land and air.
It can be said that ordinary spirit-level heroes no longer have an absolute strength-suppressing effect for today's players, unless spiritual-level beings also cooperate in combat.
For example, if a spirit-level hero is unable to fight against a hundred well-coordinated players, the sincere cooperation of ten spirit-level heroes can easily crush a small army of a thousand players.
But the problem is that in previous battles, DiFedra could not find hundreds of "colleagues" of the same level to cooperate with him.
He only had one companion who was on the same front, and that guy was still competing with him. The two of them even depended on each other for their lives. In the end, they even escaped separately with their henchmen, so how could they cooperate sincerely?
But what they have to face is tens of thousands of premeditated human armies! There is also an undead army that appears out of nowhere! A despicable and shameful vampire army!!!
If it hadn't been for the shameful and despicable sneak attack by the vampire army that suddenly sprang out at the beginning, they would never have been at a disadvantage from the beginning. Not to mention the subsequent successive mistakes that would have caused the opponent to easily break through the defense.
Yes!
It's those guys' responsibility!
"Those stinking undead have been very strange recently. I heard a while ago that they were causing trouble in our rear base. I didn't expect that this time they were colluding with those hypocritical humans. We must bring this important news back.
Sir, "Skinner", after all, everything happened for a reason, I think you shouldn't blame me too much."
With thousands of thoughts running through his mind, DiFedra muttered as if he finally saw hope again.
This is a battlefield after all. Even for demons who have always been chaotic and have no sense of loyalty, it is a serious crime for a general to abandon his army and flee on the battlefield. Under normal circumstances, even if he escapes alive, he will be sentenced to death by his superiors to maintain his military morale.
And if you completely betray the military, you will be wanted throughout the country, and in the end you may not even be able to return to your hometown.
Although she had a lucky escape on the battlefield before, DiFedra was still worried about whether her life would be in danger when she returned.
But now he seemed to feel that he had grasped a little hope of survival. Hadn't he heard before that the rear base was trying to encircle and suppress the elusive ghost army recently?
That is because the defense line in the rear was not arranged well! Those guys actually went around from the back to the front and attacked their frontline stronghold. That is not entirely their responsibility! In this case, and because I am the Lord's confidant, I think it should be
Can your life be saved?
DiFedra kept encouraging himself. The most important thing for him right now was to go back alive and leave this terrible, chaotic battlefield alive that was cursed by the devil.
However, what DiFedra didn't expect was that a group of people on their side had just rushed out of the war zone less than three miles away. But when they raised their eyes, they saw fire coming from the front, and they were not far away from them!
"Damn"
DiFedra cursed secretly with a gloomy face. Just now, he was just running away with his head lowered and didn't notice anyone in front of him. How could there be someone in this direction?
There were no other defeated troops along the way. Even if there were, they wouldn't be able to run faster than themselves, right?
Or maybe it's the reinforcements coming from the base camp behind?
It shouldn't be so fast. And the scale doesn't look right.
Could it be a human ambush???
DiFedra was shocked, but she had already thought of the worst possibility.
In an instant, DiFedra cast an "ash guard" on all the guards around him to cover up. The billowing black smoke from the magma volcano is a more effective shielding method for the demons at night. It can not only cover up their body
The firelight that bursts out from time to time can even cover up the much higher body temperature of demonic creatures, which is very suitable for covert operations on complex terrain at night.
It's just that the effect of DiFedra's spell has just been completed, but he is almost dumbfounded when he looks at the densely packed army coming out of the forest area on the opposite side. It is actually a demon army!
The number of troops on the opposite side was not that large. DiFedra estimated that it was probably less than four thousand, but they were mainly composed of horned demons, so they could be considered a qualified offensive force.
What surprised DiFedra even more was that the troops were quite orderly and did not look like defeated troops who had just retreated from the battlefield at the rear. Could it be that they were really reinforcements coming from the direction of the base camp?
"Children in front! Where are you from? Let your leader come out and answer!"
Suddenly a group of "qualified cannon fodder" appeared. A ray of light suddenly burst out from DiFedra's eyes.
You must know that in the demon army, except for the most powerful high-level main force, which is also the most relied upon by all demon lords, the rest can only be regarded as "cannon fodder", or there are only mid-to-high-level fifth-level crypt lords.
Department troops can barely be regarded as the "secondary main force" (with SM resurrection special effects).
These are considered the ace troops that each demon lord must firmly control, and as for the others
It can be sacrificed when fighting a tough battle, and discarded when escaping. It can also be captured at will when needed, and can only be regarded as a complete accessory.
To be continued...
